You can target the correct wormers at the horse who needs them instead of wasting doses on ‘clean’ livestock/farm animals. As resistance develops it is no longer safe to rely on worming without backing this up with the evidence of worm counts and tests to ensure treatment has been effective.

Like bacteria and antibiotics worms are evolving to become resistant to the drugs we have available. 80% of the worms are usually in 20% of the livestock/farm animals. Why over deworm and risk dewormer resistance?

We are trying to reduce the amount of times we expose our livestock/farm animals to these chemicals so as to slow down this development. There are only a handful of drugs licenced to treat parasites and already well documented resistance to some. In many cases you will be able to cut down on the amount of chemicals going into your livestock/farm animals and out onto the pasture.

Our testing methods are 83%+ precise.

Collection methods are the key to a successful count. Samples must be fresh and then immediately packed and stored well.

One of the reasons that a worm count doesn’t show all worms is that the eggs have hatched. We can see the hatched eggs, but hatched eggs are not part of a worm count, so we can not offer a result of the number of eggs per gram.

Our methods have a 83% precision rate.

Your COVID rapid antigen test has a sensitivity of 70-80% depending on the collection method and brand,

Worm Eggs hatch and Develop within 2 days, sometimes shorts or long depending on the weather. In the Australian climate, it is likely that eggs hatch sooner.

Worm egg hatch and develop within 2 We prefer to allocate a specific day and allocated area for pick ups. Picking up tests ensures correct storage and transport of samples. Also it saves you and us postage costs, lost samples and cost of testing is the only fee you pay.

However, if you are out of our areas, we can send you a kit. Please contact us to make arrangements.

Foals and young horses under the age of four are especially vulnerable as their immune system takes time to mature.

Older horses, horses with laminitis, EMS, ulcers or conditions impacting on their immune function need extra support. Horses that compete or train away from home on a regular basis will be exposed at show venues etc. to areas of potential contamination.

Both groups therefore need a careful and more frequent schedule of tests and treatment to help ensure a healthier life.

Baermann - Stoll’s - Floation - McMaster Modification - Roepstoff Modification - Nansen Modification - Cornell - Winconsin

Some Test results can be done immediately after preparation

Some Test results take 24hrs

Some Test results take 48hrs

and some Test results can take 7-14 days with daily checks

In general WEC will be sent to you within 72hrs, but most likely 24hrs

Its best to get a Test done both before and after worming. This give you an idea, if your de wormer is working well and targeting the required needs. This is called the Reduction Test

Seasonally - Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. It is recommended to get x4 tests done per year (Seasonal), monitoring.

POPU means:
